Sparky’s Weight Loss Diet Roller Coaster

What do the majority of dog owners with overweight dogs do to help their dogs lose weight? Well, from what I have seen it usually plays out something like this. You consult your veterinarian, they recommend a weight management food and some walking, you follow their recommendations for a month or two and Sparky loses weight. Since Sparky is no longer overweight you change back to an everyday brand of dog food following the bag guidelines. Then after another month he gains back a good portion of the weight he lost. Once again, your back where you started. Sparky still needs to lose weight. It is not that the weight management food did not do its job. It did. He lost weight. The problem is that you need to take measures to promote long term weight loss not a quick fix. People do the same approach with the newest fad diet with unsustainable results.
Well then, what should you do? Two things really. First off, add the TrimDog exercise belt to your dog’s walk while using the weight management food. The belt will allow your dog to burn more calories per walk to lose weight in a shorter period of time and it will also increase the amount of lean muscle mass your dog possesses. More lean muscle mass means a higher metabolism and more calories will be burned throughout the day. The TrimDog exercise belt is the only dog friendly exercise equipment available that can accomplish this feat. It is so effective, that some dog owners have achieved substantial weight loss without having to change their dog’s diet.
The next thing you need to do is to take measures to determine the correct portion size for your particular dog after they stop using weight management food. The bag guidelines are just that, guidelines. A 150 pd 40 year old female, does not necessarily have the same calorie needs as a 150 pd 22 year old male. Only trial and error of your brand of food will teach you how to determine what is right for your dog. If you’re not one for numbers don’t worry. The staff at TrimDog will complete a calorie count for your dog with every purchase of a TrimDog Weight Loss System.
Ok everyone let’s review. Sparky needs to lose weight. Consult your veterinarian, change to weight management food, and add the TrimDog exercise belt to his walks. Be consistent until he reaches the desired weight. Once he reaches that weight continue with regular walking using the TrimDog exercise belt. Switch to a good brand of regular dog food. Use the TrimDog staff to help find the right daily amount to feed him to maintain his new weight. Continue the same routine forever so Sparky can be fit and healthy for life. Give TrimDog a try and you will soon realize why we call ourselves the healthy, new approach to dog weight loss.

In good health,
